A character in our campaign has a nifty set of shoes that are both Spider Climbing and Striding & Springing (yes, it cost double to put the second power in the same slot). Last game, however, we ran into some rules ambiguities: 1) Are Slippers of Spider Climbing use activated or do you have to...

So, how would one go about specifically trying to poke a hole in someone else backpack while engaged in combat? Would you use the Sunder rules? It seems like it would be fairly easy to do with an arrow in real life; but in D&D-land I can't think of anything short of the Ranged Sunder feat that...

Kukri in a Haversack and she did not take a MEA to pull it out of a sheath or some sort of wrapper? Sorry Lidda but you reach back for your blade and notice it's razor sharp point protruding from the side of the Haversack. And oh, did I mention all of your gear that was inside is now lost forever?

That's fine if things don't start to blink when they are put into contact with a blinking person; but that has to apply to things carried as well. So someone who is blinking cannot effectively pick something up, or carry something, as it would fall right through him when he next went ethereal...

Wow, Evocation[Light] huh? Well then there is no question that it is immune to Darkness. So for 50gp you have a permanent counter to the old Darkness trick. Guess I better head on down to the bazzar...

Perhaps? Ha! Yea, I think maybe it should be an exotic weapon. :)Honestly though, I do not think that is a viable route to take. If you could do that, why not just use your bow like a club and claim AoOs? I think the problem is that you cannot be doing ranged attacks and still be claiming to...

The bad guy has a Blink spell going and then we hit him with a Tanglefoot bag. On his next turn, can the bad guy just walk through the goo like he could any solid object (due to blinking)? Or does the goo blink with him like any other items or "worn" equipment would? Actually, if you are...

Will a Continual Flame spell provide light in an area of Darkness? In other words, is COntinual Flame a "Light" spell? It's listed as Illusion(FIgment) but wasn't it erratted somewhere (since an illusion could not provide real light)?

I haven't seen any weapon's restriction with regards to hitting them. What I wanted to post though, was to remind you that stirges drain blood dealing 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage each round. It is important to note that you don't take the CON until after it has been attached a...

If you want to take your action fight AFTER it becomes light, then you are delaying rather than readying. Ditto for the kobolds. So you would all have an init one less than the light-bringer, and dexterity would determine action order. If you want to interrupt something, or go right before it...

I think that True Strike is very much like a scrying that scans an area that the creature is in, such as arcane eye, and therefore the spell works but the creature simply isn’t detected. If the spell cannot detect them, it cannot give you a +20 to hit them. Scrying can be purely visual...

Could you tell me where that is, or paste the text in here?

True Strike But that must be a future devoid of any Mind Blanked creatures. So how is this insight going to give you a bonus to hit them? The fact that True Strike works on mindless creatures and yet is foiled by Mind Blank only shows that Mind Blank provides additional protection beyond those...

If the "True Strike Doesn't Target the Defender" argument is the best you can come up with, then I'm just going to consider this argument won. Niether Commune nor Augury target the defender. Hell, even "Detect Thoughts" has no target; it's an area of effect spell. But since those don't target...

If I were a monk and were using a club, could I swing it in both hands (for the extra strength damage) while using Flury of Blows? Would it matter if it were a quarterstaff instead (which is an approved "monk weapon" in OA)? Or is a two-handed attack incompatible with a flury?

I've got to agree with Dad on this one. True Strike looks to me like information gathering about whatever you are going to swing at. You say it has no target. Well, what about commune? It does not target the person you ask questions about, but it is foiled by Mind Blank. If you are going to use...

Hmm, my first 3rd Ed character was a wizard and I didn' have any problems. Of course I was a dwarf and that 16 CON really helped (7 hp at first level is as good as most rogues and bards). The key to my success was definitely taking advantage of my Scribe Scroll ability. A first level spell costs...

Just wait until you get second level spells and load up Shatter. That's much more impressive!

I think I see the situation now: My reading is something like this: While Caliban's reading (I'm guessing here) is like this: Which is more likely? I've no idea. I feel obliged to support my interpretation, but then that bit about having to use both weapons if you're holding them doesn't...

Just to toss another shrimp onto the barby: keep in mind the Assassin's Sense spell from R&R. It's first level and increases the crit multiplier of any weapon you use by 1. Also increases the threat range by 1, but that's not what we're interested in here. What is interesting is that this...
